It seems to be something that you're taking personal offense at... problem is that you're giving conflicting versions of the event. Above, you say that they responded with "Okay". In a prior post you say "I casually suggested sticking to the Oregon side, and come back if you wanted more info. They didn't. "
Anyhow, my take on it is that it's OK if someone offers me advice once. If I don't take them up on their advice or suggestion, then it becomes rude to bring it up again, because then that person has started to act like a mother hen, and I'm perfectly capable of making my own decisions and dealing with the consequences, thank you very much. :-)
